The slow cooker is king
The slow cooker is our not-so-secret weapon. While we love our Instant Pot (and we have an Instant Pot Pot Roast recipe too), if we have the time and plan ahead, we’ll use our slow cooker. The slow cooker is so easy and you get such tender, fall apart beef roast with this recipe. You also get a house that smells like someone spent the entire day in the kitchen with the slow cooker. We love that!
Such a simple slow cooker beef pot roast recipe
We love simple recipes, and this one is about as easy as it gets for a family friendly meal. Just toss your roast in the crockpot with some bone broth, spices and veggies. That’s it! You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how tender and juicy it turns out to be. It is kind of like pulled pork and stew got married, and those are two of my favorite things. Anyway, it is simple, fresh and flavorful….and super easy to pull together.
Some options for the vegetables
For convenience sake, we put the vegetables and the roast all together to cook in the slow cooker at the same time. This results in kind of a “soupy” or “stew-like” roast and veggies. We like this, but you may prefer to have your vegetables less on the mushy side. If this is your preference, just add the vegetables in halfway through the cooking time. This should result in vegetables that are cooked through but not as soft. Or, you could even roast the vegetables in the oven – see recipe notes for these instructions.
